Spent a little time googling through websites today/tonight getting ideas for our own site. My brother-in-law is going to help me put one together, so I'm flagging the ones I like. In my searchin' I have to say I've seen some of the ugliest dam bulls on the planet, and people are calling them herd sires!! And has anyone looked at the ABS online directory lately? The Angus bulls for the most part look like they have dairy in them, the polled herefords look average at best, and I hate to admit it, but the best looking bull I saw was a Horned Hereford! If you were going to teach newcomers to the business what good cattle should look like, I certainly wouldn't be using that site. I did see some outstanding cattle and sites though, and when I saw great ones I made a point of letting them know in their guest books if they had one.

By the way NR, yours is in my favorites. Simple and tidy. Also handy when I lose your dang phone number!

I don't have the cowherd or links buttons working yet, but it gives you an idea of something fairly simple, but elegant.

Go ahead and check ours out. I wish I would have done a couple things different when we started, but it is what it is.

Photoshop etc should be banned when taking pics of bulls or whatnot for sale.

Those pics are doctored up soooo much it's not fair in any direction!

Looks good Aaron. Your philosophy page sounds just like mine. Interesting you mention the 300-day weaning, too. That's what we've done the past couple of winters, works good. As long as the cows have what they need, they'll hold their condition

The day they put our Galloway bull in the directory. :p Other than that, there sure wasn't an Angus bull to outdo the Horned Herfs.

NR, I'm not sure that simple and uncluttered are the 2 words that come to mind when I think of you. :lol: :lol:
